It&#8217;s messy. I wanted to give you the link to that FireFox plugin, I found <a href="http://labs.betfair.com/Project+and+Discussion+Viewer/?contentId=518">one</a>, but I&#8217;m not sure it&#8217;s <em>the one</em> that I&#8217;m using.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>#1. They have developed a Yahoo! Widget that will display the results quickly. (They chose Yahoo! Widgets because it is a cross-platform solution. <a href="http://www.midasoracle.net/" title="Desktop and Web Widgets 101">See my post on the sidebar blog for more on web widgets and desktop widgets</a>.) See the <strong>BetFair Result Widget</strong> at <a href="http://preview.betfair.com/" title="BetFair Preview">BetFair Preview</a>.</p>
<p>#2. They are developing a dual MicroSoft Vista Widget. The BetFair Bet Watcher widget is nothing Earth shattering. However, the BetFair Mystery widget uses random (instead of the speculator&#8217;s choice) to simplify trading. Not a bad idea [*] &#8212;but we will see whether this sophisticated gambling product will interest the sophisticated traders (and ex-punters). Smart idea, but I want to see the marketing of it. See the <strong>BetFair Vista Widget</strong> at <a href="http://labs.betfair.com/" title="BetFair Labs">BetFair Labs</a>.</p>
<p>[*] Using random in the input process. You can also <a href="http://www.kottke.org/remainder/07/01/12690.html" title="A new form of gambling called historical racing (kottke.org)">use random in the output process</a> &#8212;nothing Earth shattering (<a href="http://www.chrisfmasse.com/3/3/" title="X Universes">I have similar ideas for the prediction markets</a>).</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>#3 Spot the <strong>BetFair add-on for FireFox</strong> &#8212;it&#8217;s a useful toolbar with all the right BetFair links. I got it. See it at <a href="http://labs.betfair.com/" title="BetFair Labs">BetFair Labs</a>.</p>
<p>#4. Spot the <strong><a href="http://lite.betfair.com/" title="BetFair Lite">BetFair Lite</a>.</strong> It&#8217;s great because, for the first time, it gives you permanent links &#8212;i.e., fixed URLs. <a href="http://lite.betfair.com/Market.do?s=0001092839704z" title="Republican Candidate">Unfortunately, they don&#8217;t have the last price and the volume</a>. (If you want permanent links with the normal BetFair site, then what you can do is to fish for the permanent link in the history cache of your browser &#8212;at least, it works with FireFox.)</p>
